Obtaining the weather forecastrss in Portuguese

Using the following as an example, what is needed so that it can be displayed in Portuguese?

http://new.br.weather.yahoo.com/forecastrss?p=94089

I found this page -- which lists the supported languages and their respective code -- but I cannot determine how to use them.

  • Hi DStewart21,

    I believe the weather rss feed only accepts two query parameters to change the output - location and temperature units (as listed here: http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#params). There is an option in the returned data that displays the language that the forecast is in but I don't see a method for manipulating the output with a language type.

  • A lot of the translation utilities might not give you the most accurate of translations but they'll do a fair job. One of the better language translation APIs I've seen around is the Google's AJAX language API: http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlanguage/documentation/. I haven't used it myself but it looks fairly straightforward.
